Photoshop 2021 was insanelly slow on my old laptop, it was a 5 year laptop so I thought that was the problem and ended up buying a new one. Now I'm surprising because absolutely nothing changed, it has exactly the same problems. Everything is extremelly laggy, even the menus takes a few secons to open. This was something that has been instantaneous since almost 30 years ago. So... what's going on? The computer is freshly installed, so everything is updated, I set it to use the RTX 3070 on photoshop, I'm no longer using 4K, I'm back to 1080p, the hdd is a fast nvme gen 4, and it has 32GB of RAM. Shouldn't this be enough to run photoshop? Btw, it is extremelly slow even when I'm working on a 640x480 image with one layer. (everything else runs perfectly except photoshop) Meanwhile I'm going to install some old version with perpetual license or something, because I need to start working, but I have 2021 paid until the end of this year and I was never able to use it. Is there any way to use the 2021 version on a laptop or does it now only works on a super high end desktop?
